As a Black millennial and woman, how do you think your voice has impacted the community in your adopted city?
Kosi: It's a hard question to answer. I feel as though Montreal has impacted me much more than I could ever impact it. I don’t want to speak to how I’m perceived by the community (I can only hope for the best), but I can talk about the kind of effects I’d like my work to have on the city. My voice, my art and my work, more generally, are rooted in and deeply influenced by my positionality as a Black woman and millennial. They colour the questions I ask, the initiatives I take on and the narrative that I’ve been trying to create over the last 2 years. My Blackness bleeds into every single aspect of my life, and as such is inextricable from my work – it is my muse and my motivator.
